West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday visited BJP MP Khagen Murmu at a private hospital in Siliguri, where he was undergoing treatment after being assaulted in Nagarkata during a visit to the flood and landslide-affected areas on Monday.
The CM’s visit comes a day after a political storm erupted over the assault of two BJP leaders — Murmu and MLA Sankar Ghosh. A full-blown confrontation broke out on Monday between the Centre and the Bengal government after Murmu and Ghosh were attacked by a mob in Jalpaiguri’s Nagrakata while visiting landslide and flood relief sites.
Banerjee spent a few minutes speaking to the injured MP, his wife, and son, before consulting the team of doctors attending to him. According to sources, Banerjee enquired in details about the MP’s condition, including his injuries and medications and told his family that the government would extend all necessary help.
Meanwhile, in another incident on Tuesday, another BJP MLA, Manoj Kumar Oraon, was allegedly attacked by TMC workers while distributing flood relief materials in Alipurduar.
